The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), a group of medical and public health experts, meets 3 times per year to develop recommendations for vaccine use in the United States. There are 15 voting members, and their terms are for 4 years. ACIP members and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention staff discuss the epidemiology of vaccine-preventable diseases and vaccine research, effectiveness, safety data, and clinical trial results. Representatives from the American Academy of Pediatrics (including D. W. K.) and the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society are present as liaisons to the ACIP. In the February 2018 meeting, important votes on the use of influenza vaccine and hepatitis vaccines were held, and updates on human papillomavirus, meningococcal, and anthrax vaccines, among others, were provided.
